Daring Destiny is a sweltering saga of billionaire intrigue, opposites-attract, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers with an unexpected life-changing twist.
Before I founded my AI tech company, I spent my high school years silently pining over Astrid Gustafsson, the unattainable ice-blonde beauty. Fast forward a decade and I’m shocked when she asks to collaborate on a secret project. The opportunity is too enticing to pass up.
Our newfound friendship quickly ignites into a wildfire of desire, and my passion for Astrid intensifies, leaving me eager to risk everything for our future. The challenge is, relentless demands of my high-stakes empire threaten to smother the flames of our burgeoning romance.
When fate dramatically intervenes, will a life-changing twist dare us to embrace our destiny?

EXCERPT:God, she’s
incredible.
Astrid has
no idea I’m watching her.
In the
year we’ve been seeing each other, other than heating up leftovers, I’ve never
actually seen her cook. So, when I woke up this morning, I didn’t expect to
find her dancing to a Taylor Swift song wearing my oversized T-shirt and
pulling out bacon from the oven.
“I’ve
never seen anything so sexy in all my life.” I make my presence known as I pad
down the stairs.
She turns
and smiles as at me in a way that makes my heart stand still. “That’s
disappointing, considering the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen is you
eating me out for an hour straight.”
“To be
fair.” I laugh as I saunter over to her and kiss her forehead. “I meant you
generally, not the cooking part. Do I have time for a quick shower?”
“Sure.”
Astrid kisses my cheek and makes a point of leaning over to retrieve a pan from
the cupboard.
Fuck. I see a
flash of bare pussy. Immediately, my dick is standing at full attention.
I move
behind her, grip her hips and grind my erection against her ass. “I see what
you’re up to. I’m game for a quick appetizer fuck.”
“Stop it.
Go shower!” She laughs and deftly moves away. “I’m getting the eggs ready, so I
need to concentrate.”
I do, in
fact make it quick. I’m seated at her counter ten minutes later wearing nothing
but a pair of boxer briefs, which showcase how hard I am for her.
“Sexiest
thing I’ve ever seen.” She glances down at my protruding package. “I’ll
have him for dessert.”
“You
didn’t have to do all this.” I pull her against me and slant my mouth over hers
to kiss her thoroughly.
She pulls
back and pats my cheek lightly. “One track mind, B. Let’s eat then we can
fuck.”
Astrid
sets bacon, eggs, and coffee in front of me and takes the seat next to mine.
“How are you feeling this morning? Ready for your big meeting?”
“Yeah. I’m
alright. I think this is going to wrap up soon.” I take a bite of the eggs,
which aren’t terrible. “Maybe the worst of this CognifyAI situation is over.”
“I hope
so.” She licks a piece of bacon suggestively and I swear it makes me harder.
“Now who
has a one-track mind?” I devour the rest of my breakfast so we can get to the
sex stuff. “Maybe cooking is one of your hidden talents.”
